Merging two set of lists

This list of rocket launch sites is created by merging the contents of List of spaceports and Rocket launch site in a loss-less way. The two original set of lists contained a lot of duplicated information, without any clear reason for the existance of two separate lists. The former one was a more detailed table with about 50 entries. The second one contained about 200 entries, but with less information for each entry. Further work is needed to harmonize the two sets of information and to remove duplications. Note that I have also constructed two tables within the article spaceport which give more detailed information on the relatively few sites that have achieved human and orbital flights. /216Kleopatra (talk) 12:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Table column widths

Resolved

All the tables have column widths which add up to 113%. I suspect they were originally 100% each, and another column of width 13% was added to each one with none of the other columns being adjusted. Two columns have width 13%: they are "Operational date" and "Coordinates". --Redrose64 (talk) 22:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is now fixed, all add up to exactly 100% thanks to 216Kleopatra. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:45, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Additional Columns

In order to make the tables more informative on the capabilities and launch frequencies of the various sites, I propose inclusion of three additional columns:

1. Total number of rocket launches

2. Highest altitude reached (km)

3. Heaviest rocket launched (kg)

When appropriate, an altitude in item two would be replace by "orbital", "lunar", or "interplanetary". 216Kleopatra (talk) 11:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If further columns are added, then the previous thread on column widths becomes more urgent. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The three columns have now been inserted into all tables. 216Kleopatra (talk) 11:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Going ahead with the merger

I am going ahead and merging the article List of spaceports into this article. The user Jamie C who had created the page seems to be inactive. Some of the spaceports in the list were already present in this article. I have given reasons for why I excluded a particular entry below:

SpaceX Boca Chica Launch Site

Now that SpaceX has launch a rocket to a height of 12.5km, should we now move this from planned or proposed to an active launch site?

For the number of launches, should we also just include the launch of Starship prototype SN9 (to 12.5km) or also the launces of Starship prototype SN5 and SN6 (to 150km) and the two untethered launches of the Starhopper prototype?

user:mnw2000 10:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Supported. The designation "rocket launch site" does not necessary require the site to be a spaceport, and given that Boca Chica has already launched six Starship prototypes weighing in excess of a 100 tons... I propose we should include all six launches given all were of substantial size and power. user:FossilDS 16:55, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pacific Missile Range should be listed in Oceania

Hawaii is in the geographic region of Oceania. It is definitely not in North America. C5mjohn (talk) 18:18, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
